CHRIS WAS RELAXING in the swing on the upstairs porch, when he heard a car driving around behind the house. Since the second floor deck had been added, he could no longer see whose car it was, but when he heard the distinctive sound of a garage door opening, he knew it was Mickey. A few minutes later, Mickey came onto the porch already changed into casual clothes. He gave Chris a kiss before he settled down in the swing.

“A press release.”
“What press release?”
“Just a little announcement that was released to the media a couple of hours ago.”
“Let me guess—the acquisition you’ve hinted about.”
“Yep. Here, have a look.” Mickey handed him the paper, and he read it carefully. “Wow! That’s a pretty big deal.”
